Originating from Puglia in Italy, this dish is usually made with a tomato sauce, but for this recipe our Head Chef Rae has added roasted peppers to compliment the spicy, smoky taste of the spaghetti.
Normal bell peppers from the supermarket will work, but if you can get some more interesting, seasonal peppers and tomatoes from a local greengrocer, the flavour of the sauce will definitely benefit from this.
3 Peppers
2 Tomatoes
1 Clove of Garlic
180g Spaghetti
Pinch of chilli flakes
Pecorino or Parmesan to serve
Tear the peppers into roughly 4 pieces, removing the seeds, and toss the pepper, tomato and garlic clove in olive oil and salt. Pour onto a baking tray and roast at 220°c for 20-30 minutes until all is well roasted and charred around the edges. Blend to create your pepper sauce.
In a large frying pan on a high heat, add a good glug of oil and add the spaghetti, let it cook until the spaghetti starts to char, and then add the chilli flakes and a pinch of salt.
Fry for a further 30 seconds, then add the pepper sauce and 300ml of water.
Cook on a medium heat until the spaghetti has softened, adding more water if needed. Taste to check if it needs any more salt, pepper or chilli.
Serve and top with grated pecorino or parmesan.
Enjoy!
